What is it?

Executive dysfunction is a glitch in the brain's management system. It makes it hard to start tasks, stay focused, or switch between activities. It is like having a CEO who went on vacation without leaving a clear plan.

Signs & Symptoms

Feeling paralyzed even though you know what to do
Getting overwhelmed by small tasks like doing dishes
Losing track of time or what you were just doing

Why does this happen?

Your prefrontal cortex is the part of the brain that handles planning. In ADHD brains, this area struggles to get enough dopamine. Without enough of this chemical, your brain cannot find the spark to start a task. It is a biological signal issue, not a lack of willpower.

The Action Plan

Try breaking down your next task like this to overcome the block:
1

Acknowledge the freeze

1m

Say out loud that you are currently experiencing a brain block.

2

Lower the bar

2m

Pick the smallest possible part of the task to do first.

3

Move your body

2m

Stand up or stretch to give your brain a physical reset.

Stop fighting your brain.
